Tips

Buy avocado 2-3 days in advance of your preparation day. Most avocado you find in store are rock hard so leave them outside to soften up for few days. This is to speed up the ripening process.
Use avocado when it is in dark green colour.
Onions are the mainstay for this recipe.It gives distinct flavor to the guacamole.
If you don’t have garlic powder, try with rest of the ingredients.
If you have any unused avocado, store them with seed so that you can use it later. Other trick is adding lime juice which prevents avocado from oxidation.
